The price of a third-level puppet beast is more than 700,000 spirit stones, and it is very difficult to refine. You know, the price of a magic weapon is between 200,000 and 600,000. Han Zhangxiang didn't know that Han Changming had a third-level puppet beast.
The principles of refining weapons and making puppets are similar, but refining puppet beasts is much more difficult. Han Zhangxiang can only refine low-grade magic weapons now.
Han Changming released his spiritual sense and carefully examined every corner of the stone chamber.
They carefully checked the twelve underground fire rooms and found nothing unusual.
Half an hour later, Han Changming and Han Zhangxiang appeared in a spacious and bright hall, where Han Changxin and others were reporting the situation to them.
"Chief, all the soil from the spiritual fields has been taken away. The soil we bought is not enough."
Han Changxin frowned and said, Xitu is a special soil specially used for growing spiritual medicines and spiritual grains. There are many types of Xitu. The Xitu circulating on the market are all ordinary Xitu, and the price is not cheap. The Xitu required for 1,531 acres of spiritual fields is worth more than one million spiritual stones.
This is still ordinary Xitu. It is said that some special Xitu can speed up the growth cycle of spiritual medicines. Some particularly precious spiritual medicines must be planted in special Xitu in order to grow.
"No rush, just use the soil you have first and go buy more later."
The Han family spent 200,000 spirit stones to rent the island. How could they afford a million spirit stones to purchase a large amount of Xitu? They could only use it for the time being.
"There are not a single spiritual fish left in the five spiritual lakes, not even a sea clam. The previous owner took everything away, including anything of value. I have calculated that the cost of purchasing the soil, spiritual fish seedlings, spiritual medicine seeds, spiritual fruit seedlings, furniture, etc., is at least 1.5 million spiritual stones."
Ye Xue took out a thick account book and handed it to Han Zhangxiang for review.
The tables, chairs and benches are all made of spiritual wood. The price is not high, but if the number increases, it will also cost a lot of spiritual stones.
Ziyue Island can accommodate thousands of cultivators. The initial investment is relatively large, but the income will increase year by year, provided that they can defend Ziyue Island. The Han family has long intended to rent the island for development, and Han Zhangxiang asked Han Changyan to be responsible for finding out relevant information.
In the past hundred years, sixty-three islands in the territory controlled by the Righteous Alliance alone have changed owners. Most of them were attacked by third-level monsters, suffering heavy losses. They were unable to continue to defend their existing territories and could only evacuate to the open sea in disgrace, or return to Haoran City to open shops, or leave the open sea.
Han Deling is stationed in Huludao, while Han Changming and Han Zhangxiang are developing in the outer sea. Two Jindan cultivators are simply not enough in the outer sea, and they need to train more Jindan cultivators.
"We brought a lot of things from the Inland Sea. Let's use them first! We also need some cultivation resources. Make a list and purchase them slowly."
Han Changming said in a deep voice that the Han family simply could not afford 1.5 million spirit stones now and could only purchase them slowly.
All things are difficult at the beginning. They had just rented the island to settle down, and there were many places where they needed spirit stones, so they could only purchase some emergency items first.
"We will settle down on Ziyue Island in the future. However, since we are new here, we have a lot of things to do. During this period, you will have to bear the heavy burden, especially Ye Xin. We need to set up a lot of restrictions, especially in the Earth Fire Hall. Without restrictions, Qi Refining cultivators will be easily injured by the Earth Fire when refining weapons and pills."
Han Zhangxiang reminded them that since they had just arrived, they had a lot of things to do and things to keep them busy. This was only Ziyue Island, and there were three more small islands!
If the teleportation fee wasn't too high, Han Zhangxiang would have liked to bring more than a hundred tribesmen here.
"We have too few people, and guarding four islands is too tiring. Chief, doesn't the Zhu family of Danyang Island want to cooperate with us? I think we can cooperate with the Zhu family and give them a small island to live in, and let them regularly hand in some spiritual medicine or other cultivation resources, which can reduce our pressure. The Zhu family is proficient in formations, so we can form an alliance with them through marriage."
Han Debiao suggested that the total number of Han family members in the outer sea was less than sixty people, and it would be very difficult to guard the four islands.
Han Zhangxiang nodded and said, "I do want to marry into the Zhu family. I should get married now. Don't follow Chang Jiong's example and find a casual cultivator with unknown origins."
Han Benxian is a man of four spiritual roots, and he was able to advance to the foundation-building stage thanks to the top-grade foundation-building pills given to him by Han Changming. Han Benxian is also very lustful, so he can marry more wives and concubines for him, so that Han Changming can have more children and feel at ease.
"Zhu family? Formations have always been our weakness, but we can form an alliance with the Zhu family. There is no rush for this matter. Let's stabilize it first, and then bring up this matter."
After chatting for a cup of tea, Ye Xue and the others left and went about their own business.
The third-level spiritual vein is located below the highest mountain. There is a vast manor on the mountain. The third-level spiritual vein is more than twenty miles long and passes through a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. In the valley there is a quiet manor of more than ten acres. Han Changming chose this place as his cave residence.
The manor has nine courtyards of different sizes, with pavilions, towers, garden rockeries, corridors and waterside pavilions everywhere. Han Changming landed in the main courtyard, where there is a blue attic with carved beams and painted rafters.
His eyes flashed with golden light and he looked towards the blue attic, but did not find anything unusual.
The attic door was open and there were spider webs in many places in the house.
The attic was completely empty. Not only were there no potted plants, there wasn't even a table or chair.
He walked around and didn't find anything unusual. There was a basement over a hundred feet in the attic.
Han Changming took out the Taiyi Hualing Gourd and the Lingyan Jade, and a large amount of spiritual energy rushed towards the Taiyi Hualing Gourd and the Lingyan Jade, but fortunately there was no big noise.
He placed the Spirit Eye Jade and the Taiyi Spirit Gourd separately, allowing them to slowly absorb spiritual energy.
Han Changming slapped the spirit beast bag, and a silver light flew out. It turned out to be a silver beetle as big as a millstone, which was the thunder rhinoceros insect.
The Thunder Rhinoceros Bug is currently a mid-level second-grade creature, and its size has grown a lot.
Han Changming spent a lot of energy and effort to cultivate the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion to the third level. He is already in the middle stage of Jindan. It will be difficult for him to advance to the late stage of Jindan in the short term. It would be better to cultivate a few more third-level spirit insects.
After the Amethyst Flying Scorpion was promoted to the third level, it was indeed a great help. It was even more powerful than the third-level puppet beast. The third-level demon bird was poisoned by the Amethyst Flying Scorpion and died soon.
Han Changming took out a piece of golden thunder grass and fed it to the thunder rhinoceros worm. After the thunder rhinoceros worm took the golden thunder grass, it made a cheerful hissing sound and flew around the room.
Thunder spiritual herbs are not easy to cultivate. It is indeed rare that Cheng Guangbei was able to get two 500-year-old golden thunder herbs.
"Okay, come back! I hope you can advance to the third level too."
Han Changming said with a smile, and patted the spirit beast bag. The thunder rhinoceros worm turned into a silver light and flew back to the spirit beast bag.
He released the Xuyuan Worm with a strange look on his face. The Xuyuan Worm is currently a mid-grade second-grade worm. It ranks ninth on the list of strange insects in the world. With such a high ranking, Han Changming is full of expectations for it.
Both the Insect Breeding Pill and the Spirit Breeding Pill are beneficial to the advancement of spirit insects, but the materials for refining the Spirit Breeding Pill are all spiritual medicines. The Insect Breeding Pill is made with the demon pill of the third-level demon insect as the main ingredient and a variety of spiritual medicines as auxiliary ingredients. The spiritual beasts and birds on the Three Immortals Island are quite famous, so there should be pills or spiritual objects that can assist the advancement of spirit insects, so you can start from this aspect.
He took out two light green fruits and fed them to the Xuyuan worm. The Xuyuan worm ate the two spiritual fruits in no time.
After feeding the Xuyuan worm with spiritual fruit, Han Changming put it back into the spiritual beast bag, took out the Qingyan Burning Heaven Furnace and materials, and began to refine the foundation-building pill.
The outer sea is rich in resources for cultivating immortals. Han Changying collected some auxiliary medicines for refining foundation-building pills, enough for Han Changming to refine five furnaces.
The Han family has more than twenty foundation-building cultivators, a small half of whom stayed in the inner sea, and most of the elite ones were in the outer sea. However, this is far from enough. The shops in Haoran City require several foundation-building cultivators to manage, and they also have to guard the four islands. It is even difficult to organize a monster hunting team. Therefore, Han Changming needs to refine more foundation-building pills and cultivate more foundation-building cultivators.
He cast a spell into the Green Flame Burning Heaven Furnace, and the flame pattern on the surface of the Green Flame Burning Heaven Furnace lit up. With a muffled "puff" sound, a green flame appeared at the bottom of the furnace.
After a while, he threw the materials into the Qingyan Burning Sky Furnace one after another and closed the lid.
Half a minute later, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.
······
The Underground Fire Hall, a certain Underground Fire Room.
Han Zhangxiang sat cross-legged on a red cushion, with a pile of refining materials around him, including a pair of red wings. This time he got two corpses of third-level demon birds, which he could use to refine weapons.
Demonic birds have many feathers, but only a few feathers of a third-level demonic bird can be used to refine magic weapons, and the other feathers can only be used to make second-level magic weapons.
The claws of the demon bird were given to Cheng Guangbei. The wings were good materials for refining weapons. It would be best if they could be refined into a flying magic weapon.
Han Zhangxiang had never refined a flying magic weapon, so he was a little nervous and excited.
The value of a flying magic weapon is much higher than an attacking magic weapon. If Han Zhangxiang had a flying magic weapon in his hand, he would not be injured if he encountered a poisonous dragon.
Han Zhangxiang threw the red wings into the air, and underground fire gushed out from the round pit, wrapping the red wings. Under the calcination of the underground fire, the wings turned red and the impurities were burned into ashes.
His expression was tense, his eyes fixed on the red wings.
He had never refined a flying magic weapon, so he was not very confident.
······
On a mountain hundreds of feet high, Ye Xin was directing her clansmen to set up a formation.
There are seven spiritual medicine gardens on Ziyue Island. In addition, there are a large number of spiritual fields. The spiritual medicine gardens are built in places with abundant spiritual energy and are suitable for growing spiritual medicines. The spiritual energy in other spiritual fields is less, and they are suitable for growing spiritual grains.
Most of the Xitu that the Han family brought from the Inner Sea was used in the Spiritual Medicine Garden. After Ye Xin arranged the restrictions of the Earth Fire Palace, she rushed to the Spiritual Medicine Garden to set up the formation.
The spiritual fields of the seven spiritual medicine gardens add up to a total of three hundred acres. Six of the spiritual medicine gardens are used to grow spiritual medicines needed by foundation-building monks and core-forming monks, and one spiritual medicine garden is used to grow golden lizard grass. Of the remaining one thousand two hundred and thirty-one acres of spiritual fields, two hundred and thirty-one acres are used to grow spiritual grains. Because there is not enough fertile soil, one thousand acres of spiritual fields can only be left empty. There is no other way around it.
"Ninth Uncle, according to your instructions, all the materials for the formation have been buried in the designated locations. You can activate the formation now."
A thin young man in a blue shirt said respectfully, "Han Duanzheng, he is the descendant of Han Daojing. He has been learning formations with Han Daojing since he was a child and is currently at the seventh level of Qi Refining."
The Han family's development in the open sea requires a large number of skilled talents, and formation masters are indispensable. Han Duanzheng took the initiative to volunteer and follow Han Zhangxiang and others to develop in the open sea.
Ye Xin nodded, took out a pale white four-cornered array plate, and entered a spell. Suddenly, a white mist emerged from the ground, covering the entire spiritual medicine garden. Even if someone passed by here, they would not notice the existence of the spiritual medicine garden.
"Great, let's go! Let's hurry to the next spiritual medicine garden. I'm afraid we won't have much time to rest in the next month."
Ye Xin put away the formation plate and walked out, and Han Duanzheng hurriedly followed.
